Can you take good product pictures with a smartphone?

Yes, taking professional product photos with your smartphone is absolutely possible. Many smartphone cameras are so good these days that they can easily compete with more expensive digital SLR cameras, especially if you are a beginner. Keep in mind the following tips or the photos for your future webwite
Depth of field: Creating a shallow depth of field is harder on a smartphone, but possible. You can try using an external lens, or use a photo app that can create the effect of a blurred background.
Resolution: If you take photos with your smartphone, you should always take photos with the aspect ratio that offers you the highest resolution. That way enlarging, cropping and other photo effects will still be possible afterwards.We also have a professonal photographer on our team as well

Be Consistent in what you write and put on your local listings across the web

Consistent information is not only helpful for potential customers; it’s also essential for your online web presence. Google favors consistency across the web, so make sure that your name, address, and phone number are listed in exactly the same format across all directory listings – this includes the way your address is abbreviated (Street vs. St.) and any business name inclusions (i.e. Inc.). If you find a listing that doesn’t have your business information listed in the correct format, find out what steps are required by the listing service to update your information. Oftentimes this requires setting up an account and claiming your listing, but each site is different.We help small businesses to get on the map.
